The Pakistan government said Thursday that the peace process with the Taliban would continue, albeit slowly in a wait-and-watch mode, despite the militants having ended a 40-day truce.
A meeting of the Cabinet Committee on National Security (CCNS) chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took the decision after the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended the truce on Wednesday, Dawn reported.
